"The
chinese zodiac is a scheme that relates each year to a specific animal
for a period of 12 years; lasting a 12 year cycle. Each year is
attributed to a specific animal with their specific traits and
compatability among the twelve different animals. The twelve animals
listed in the chinese zodiac are: the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon,
snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. The
order of the animals remains the same due to the fact that according to
legend, this was the order the animals appeared in front of Buddah in
response to an invitation he had accepted. The chinese zodiac not only
is about the twelve year cycle but it also involves the five elements
of nature: metal, wood, water, fire and Earth. The combination of both,
twelve animals and five elements , create a 60 year cycle, which
positions the sun and moon, a persons' date and time of birth in order
to help forsee into someone's future."
